Wow. This is one wild swing. Nancy won 48 LPGA Tour events and 3 majors while having three children, and is one of the best women golfers of the past 30 years. You certainly wouldn’t guess that if all you had to go on was the swing, which is one of the most idiosyncratic great player swings you will ever see. It just goes to show you that the greatest attribute any player can have is talent, as it is obvious that talent and a great touch around the greens can equal an exceptional career. There is always the question that if she possessed that kind of talent and won that much with a swing that seems as complex and difficult to manage as this one, could she have been one of the all- time greats with many more major wins had she tried to improve her technique? Or, on the flip side of that argument, would the attempt to alter what has to be viewed as a “natural” swing” have ruined her and relegated her to the status of also-ran? Always a question to spark a nice debate, but the fact remains that she was a dominant player in her day and certainly did it with little thought of swing technique.
